Apple is reportedly preparing to release a cheaper MacBook

Apple
is reportedly preparing to release a new, cheaper MacBook Air in
the second quarter of 2018,
according to a report in 9to5Mac which quotes a note
published by reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Apple's cheapest MacBooks, the MacBook Air line, currently starts
at $999 (£722). But Kuo reportedly said that he expects Apple to
reduce the starting price of the MacBook Air line with the new
model.

It isn't clear whether the rumoured new MacBook Air will feature
a major redesign, or will look similar to existing models but
with upgraded internal hardware.

9to5Mac pointed out that Kuo's analyst note follows
a report by Digitimes in January which claimed that a new
MacBook Air was in development. That report, however, said that
the new MacBook Air would be released in the second half of 2018.
